5-cents was the international rate at the time with 3-cents for each additional ounce. As postal stationery items, not desirable. As postal history items, I don't know. Switzerland was not an unusual destination. Use of specific adhesives may appeal to a specialist in that stamp/series.

Nothing particularly rare here, but these are all sound, non-philatelic postal history usages. The Swiss censor marking is neat, and I like the manuscript directives on some of the covers (too bad they weren't done with handstamp, such as the 'supplementary mail' one). Enjoy them...they're a good start!

All are nice to look at and think about what they went through to get to their destinations, but all are dealer dollar box type items. Most of them are in pretty rough condition unfortunately.

I collect anything from Canton, Ohio.
The purposely placed sideways stamp under the flag cancel is very nice, as is the MILITAIRE marking.

Kimo thanks but the second last photo. The round stamp where the Washington 3 cent 2c on 3c Dark Violet U480; UPSS 3038 showed has some peculiarities. I buyed only this on the auction because it was in my opinion the most special of the bunch.

Thanks Ciletaliph This cover I dont buyed on the auction as mentioned sorry.

Hi craigk
Thank you for your precious input. Did you think the postcard goes to Beauregard or he wrote the postcard to someone else?

Yes. Postmarked 10/29 in New Orleans from Hamilton 10/27. GT B died in New Orleans and is buried in Metairie Cemetery.

Co-incidentally, the movie Glory was on TV last night and Beauregard was in charge of the defense of Charleston Harbor, which included Fort Wagner, at the time of the 54th Mass assault.

.....and then there was a cover from SS Oceanic, another White Star liner from Harland & Wolff......(Builders of Titanic, Olympic, etc...)

RMS Oceanic was a transatlantic ocean liner built for the White Star Line. She sailed on her maiden voyage on 6 September 1899 and was the largest ship in the world until 1901. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914 she was commissioned into Royal Navy service on 8 August 1914, as an armed merchant cruiser.

On 25 August 1914, the newly designated HMS Oceanic departed Southampton to patrol the waters from the North Scottish mainland to the Faroes, in particular around Shetland. She ran aground and was wrecked off the island of Foula there on 8 September 1914

It would be interesting to see the reverse side of that card.
